The Witchwood
A popular music venue on Old Street. It lies on the edge of the St Petersfield development and (unlike the Friendship Image) was threatened with a CPO and demolition. It fought to be retained and was successful. The pub was known in 1850 as the Painters Arms and was a meeting place for local masons. It was sold to Oldham Brewery in 1897. Between 1886 and 1893 it was called the Rifle Brigade before reverting to the Painters Arms. In 1897 to became the Globe Inn. In 1985 it became one of the "Fighting Cock" group of free houses and renamed the Gamecock. In 1988 it was bought by John Dyson who renamed it the Witchwood.

The Witchwood
The Witchwood is a public house and has been a hub for live indie and rock music since the 1960s. In 2004, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council served a compulsory purchase order on The Witchwood as plans for the regeneration of the surrounding area required the building to be removed. After a campaign to save The Witchwood, supported by regular customers, local amateur musicians, businesses and live venues, live music fans from across the country, Ask Developments – the company regenerating the surrounding area – agreed that The Witchwood would not be demolished on condition that "the exterior would be re-rendered and new windows put in".
